Rainy Day In June

A
G
D
A
A misty shadow spread its wings
D
A
And covered all the ground
A
G
D
A
And even though the sun was out
D
A
The rain came pouring down
A
D
And all the light had disappeared
G
A
And faded in the gloom
A
D
There was no hope, no reasoning
G
A
This rainy day in June
A
G
D
A
The eagle spread its mighty wings
D
A
And pounced upon its pray
A
G
D
A
And all the skies, so brilliant blue
G
A
Turned suddenly to grey
A
D
The cherished things are perishing
G
A
And buried in their tomb
A
G
There is no hope, no reasoning
D
A
This rainy day in June
D7
A
And everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain
A
G
D
A
The demon stretched its crinkled hand
D
A
And snatched a butterfly
A
G
D
A
The elves and gnomes were hunched in fear
D
A
Too terrified to cry
A
D
The reckoning was beckoning
G
A
They're living to their doom
A
D
There was no hope, no reasoning
G
A
This rainy day in June
D7
A
And everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain Everybody felt the rain
